The town of Loughrea, a hotbed of athletics and in particular road running, will host their traditional five mile road race next Sunday at 02:00pm. This race is one of the classic occasions on the racing calendar in the West of Ireland and deserves the support of every one of us. Loughrea AC are celebrating their 40th Anniversary this year and have made every possible effort to make sure that this year's event is a special one.

On September the 28th next Loughrea AC will celebrate their 40th anniversary by hosting their annual road race which will once more be over the classic distance of 5 miles. Not content with hosting one of the best races West of the Shannon the Loughrea club will also organise a seminar entitled "Success in Middle and Long-Distance Running" on the evening before the race (27th September) at 6.00pm. They've assembled an absolutely stellar panel of contributors for the seminar which takes place in the Loughrea Hotel & Spa (http://www.loughreahotelandspa.com/).
